In saying that it was quite a formidable team that Francis built those few seasons. However I will continue to state categorically Devon White is the biggest cart horse I have ever seen grace a football field. Dev was better than that...82s were slightly scared of him I always thought. No doubt in my mind that back then the 82ers had the better players but we had the better team

Anyone else remember Gerry driving home in just his pants after the West Brom game at Twerton?

A decent away performance today, some pluses and good performances from a few players (J Clarke-immense, Chapman, Ellis, Lines first half and good effort all round). However, I can't help thinking we're carrying an unfit Easter every match. As soon as he's replaced we come alive with our play in the final third far sharper. A neutral thought he was unfit, uninterested, slow etc etc today and when asked about it I really couldn't defend him...at all. Is it unthinkable to loan him out?! Taylor and Harrison far sharper. I'm guessing the neutral didn't see how well he played against Barnet then? Uninterested? Thats total bo11ocks

Haven't read all the posts on this thread so it may have already been said but didn't Cotterill call us Ragbag Rovers a few years ago?

After hearing Cotterill's interview yesterday, one thing we can surely all agree on is that he must be sh1t at the yes/no game He regards the interviewer as a knobhead from prior interviews so he can't be bothered. If you watch his interview on BCFC Player pretty much same time you'll see a much different chat. It's all about respect and he has none for the idiot he talked to. Not the way I'd go about it but his prerogative I guess. Serious point...imo he can act this way only if results are going ok. Be dismissive of the questions if you are getting beat most weeks and you'll get the sack. (Just my observations)

Why the negativity? this time last year we had just lost at Altrincham, in bottom 4 of Conference. We are now mid table in League 2!! Yes we should have scored more but...shots were on target, goalie saved them and fair do's to him. If shots had been high and wide then perhaps we could criticise, but they weren't, they were on target. Well done Rovers job done! Well done all the players, they all played well and all looked comfortable. I bet Yeovil would do a bit of swapping with us right now! I do wonder sometimes if people like to have something to criticise. UTG! Expect if internet forums had been around in 1966 some of the fookers on here would be moaning that Geoff Hurst only scored 3 and 1 of them shouldn't have counted

Should have had a penalty early in the game. Would have totally changed the game. League refs are clearly no better.

Dont understand the comments that Taylor isn't good enough at this level. Didnt have a good day today but which Rovers player did? 1 game played so dont be getting on his back and writing him off after 70 odd minutes of football But it's obvious for all to see, he needs half a dozen easy chances to score one goal. He got away with it last season against park players, he's up against full time professionals now and will get one or two of those chances at most each game, unless he can improve his finishing he'll find himself finishing the season somewhere like FGR or Eastleigh. If Easter was being played as the forward striker today we would have been 1-0 up. So he should have scored 120 goals last season in your opinion then. He played against alot of professional players last season btw.

If only the other Northampton players were as good as him they'd have got promoted last season. He's bound to end up at Barca or Madrid

Noel will likely say no deal so to be honest I would prefer Bill Gates

What don't people understand? UWE would rather Rovers payed for the stadium. If that's not possible they may seek to build anyway. Rovers would rather have bought and payed for the stadium. Not too difficult to understand.

West Ham qualified for the Europa League knock out rounds through the fair play league. In the 5 matches they've so far played in the competition they have had 3 sent off...4 if you include the manager.

People need to quit with the sideways move bulls***. If you get offered more money to do the same job elsewhere then you go. I hope he doesn't but if he gets more money in his pocket then fair play. Football is a short career and can end at any moment. Sideways as in a club in the same division...sorry if that's bulls*** (in your opinion)

Hopefully not true and would seem to be a sideways move but if true, I for one wouldn't knock him after the loyalty he showed us last summer.
